CH250

The CH250 is a two-pole, 50-amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker used for overload and short-circuit protection in Eaton Type CH load centers. Eaton rates it for 120/240V AC service with a 10 kA interrupting rating and a common-trip mechanism that opens both poles together.

Eaton manufactures the CH250 as part of its Type CH breaker family. Cutler-Hammer is a legacy brand name associated with Eaton electrical products. The CH250 remains listed in Eaton’s current Type CH product line. Common applications include residential and light-commercial 240-volt circuits for electric ranges, ovens, air-conditioning equipment, electric heating, and other loads requiring a 50-amp, two-pole breaker.
